The Republican plan to tax the middle class and give the rich what they want
In the United States today, as the most wealthy Americans have benefited over the last 30 years from "Reaganomics", the rest of the country has continued to struggle. The idea of "Reaganomics" or "Supply Side Economics" is that the country gives the super rich tax cuts and in return they will create jobs. It sounds nice, but it is the lie that the Republican Party has stood by for decades. As the rich in the United States see their salaries sky-rocket, the average American has seen their wages stay stagnant. Ronald Reagan got the ball rolling, he helped destroy unions who help represent the middle class against giant corporations. Over the last 10 years alone we have seen over 40,000 American factories close and jobs shipped overseas as the conservative politicians push for "free trade", which lets corporations buy cheap labor in third world countries.

It's like Robin Hood except backwards.

1. The generation that elected Reagan is dying off.
The Reagan philosophy is dying with them.

Young people today know better than that dying generation.
